and they need a clogger up the middle, a player who can free up linebackers to make plays.
don't know about that. Teams had the most success running to the outside instead of up the middle. And it was usually when we were in a nickel or dime defense. When we were in a 4-3, we actually did good I thought.

I'm not so sure of your statement's validity, but yes there were many big runs ripped off on the edge, especially on the left side (ughem! Will Smith!). I do recall though runs up the middle that gashed us as well, and it was quite consistent that we were a complete mess on the line whether it be right middle or left.
Kiper isn't wrong in saying we need a DT. We do! The question remains if this guy is the one we need. I don't like reading him state "Hankins ran a little hot and cold, and the tape doesn't show a player who will penetrate and use quickness to beat interior blockers." Well hell, what's the point of a DT if he can't beat the blockers?!?!?! We aren't looking for a NT to take on double teams in a 3-4; we need DT's that can shed blocks as well as maintain position against them.
